5 Tips On Bonding Better With Friends And Avoiding Enemies

If you prefer success instead of failure, here’s what to do. Over the past few years, an epidemic of rudeness has swept Nepal. Maybe you would say, it is being progressive, but it is making you lose friends. Here’s how to stop this viral disease.

1. Acknowledge People

Answer the phone. Return phone calls. Listen carefully when people talk to you. According to NTC, one call is 59 seconds long. Even if you cut the phone in 4 seconds, you are charged the rate. Be an active participant in conversations. Never use your cell phone when with others, even if you are just having ‘chiya and churot.’ Give the person you are with the complete attention. Remember: acknowledgment satisfies a basic human need.

2. Show Respect

Use people’s names when talking to them. Never invent nicknames or make fun of people’s names. Be on time, it is harder when the entire country is not punctual. Treat friends as if they were smarter than you. Let others speak first. Remember: respect is powerful because it gives people dignity.

3. Compliment

Seek the good in everything. Avoid gossip and people who gossip. Remind friends about the successes they had, even if decades ago. When you have a school reunion, complement each other’s success. Focus on what works and what went well. Remember: warmth, attracts people.

4. Be Positive

Master optimism. Accept change and new ideas. Always focus on success. Expect the best to happen. Think in terms of the future and how you can make it better. Use positive (or at least neutral) words. Remember: leaders sell hope.
